A 42-year-old man was injured in a shooting near Crenshaw High School Tuesday morning, authorities said.

Officers responded to the 5000 block of 11th Avenue shortly before 8 a.m. following a call of shots fired, the Los Angeles Police Department said. School police said the shooting occurred on the outer perimeter of the campus.

The victim was walking southbound on the street when a brown four-door sedan pulled up alongside him. An argument ensued and at least two shots were fired, striking the man once in the chest, according to LAPD Cmdr. Dennis Kato.

The wounded man ran onto the campus seeking help and was later transported from the scene. School police said the victim is not associated with the school, and LAPD said students at Crenshaw High School are safe.

The man was listed in stable condition at a hospital.
